Again, I think you are missing the point of this... There is NO ASSEMBLER involved. The process goes from MACHINE INSTRUCTIONS to COBOL SOURCE CODE. No need for the customer/user/programmer to have any knowledge of Assembler at all.

If you prefer, call it a DisCOBOLER instead of a DisASSEMBLER.

I think the term traditionally used is "decompiler".

Yeh! I thought about that, but Pete seemed so hung up on the specific language, that seemed more to the point.
